What riders say about Fort McDowell stables

The Stables at Fort McDowell Adventures

Troy and his team run an professional organization with well cared for horses and tack. Upon arrival, they have a good selection of helmets, clean bathrooms, waters, and an easy yard to mount up. Unlike most trail rides, these horses are well fed and maintained.

I used to ride with the Wilms family when I was a little girl. It is where I really found and grew in my passion for horses. They run an amazing riding facility and are even more amazing people. I have recently reconnected with them and am so excited to be back and apart of this amazing team!
